Our poor sweetheart has been sick the last two days and managed to use the entire kleenex box (half for her sneezing and half to play with) :) I stayed home from Church with her yestarday evening in hopes that an early bedtime would help her recover, and I think she is much better today. I just hate it when she is sick, I know how miserable it is to have a cold.

These are the rest of the photos from our little photo session. They sure are squirmy at this age! I'm using a couple of them for Taylor's Birthday card.. but that will be a surprise, I won't post that until the week of her Birthday!

Taylor has started saying please and thank you... or rather... pleee & hey ew, but we know what she means. :) She definately knows the meaning too, she will see a cookie and say pllleeeeeeee pleee pleee pleee... lol, it's so cute, I can't help but give in. I'm just glad that she is asking the right way! Next week we will be teaching her to say antidisastablishmentarianism so stay tuned!

Taylor is now easily able to crawl upstairs, I can't believe this day has come! John and I were about ready to head to Babies R' Us to get a gate, but I thought I'd check Craigslist before we left. We ended up finding the perfect gate on there for just $6! And the best part.. we never had to get in our car to go get it because it was right down the street from us on our normal walking route! How cool is that, I love saving money. :)

Have you heard of Etsy? It's my new favorite website!

My cousin Shondra has a shop, here is the url:

Above are a few designs from her store. Etsy is basically a place where you can sell your handmade goods (and there are SO many amazing stores). My Mom and I will each be setting up a shop soon so stay tuned for the details! If anyone else has a store, please leave the url as a comment, I'd love to check them out!!
